In the sky, each Thunderbird, no larger than a palm, stirred the elemental forces of thunder and lightning between heaven and earth. The fierce winds converged with dark clouds, gradually shrouding the sky in darkness. The night sky of the Flowing Cloud Realm revealed only a few stars and the moon, while thick layers of clouds occasionally echoed with flashes of lightning and rumbling thunder.
"It's time to sleep," the Senior Sister said to Gu, who was standing at the threshold.
"Okay," Gu Ying replied, but he made no move. He was lost in thoughts about tomorrow and beyond, yet no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out what Jie Donglai would be like.
When he had just been reborn, Gu embraced the joy of his new life and the longing for a different existence outside the Flowing Cloud Realm. Accompanied by Yoyo, they had struggled at the bottom of the food chain for nearly a year. Afterward, they arrived in Lu State, where he experienced its customs and culture, hoping to find a reliable method. Eventually, he came to the academy.
He thought that entering the academy would allow him to enjoy life fully, but reality proved otherwise. The Light Path Classic was like an unshakeable shadow that clung to him at all times; no matter where he went, he encountered people from the Light Path Classic, each with their own unique traits.
He apprenticed under a cheap master who was handsome but quite old, resembling a child who had never grown up. The master gave him a Pure Light Sutra and then left him to his own devices. Later, he met Xiazhi and the Senior Sister along with others, finding them quite interesting. However, during a small hunting expedition, they inadvertently turned the proud students of the academy into a chaotic mess, scattering them like headless flies in the perilous Flowing Cloud Realm.
It was indeed strange; that human cultivator chose to appear just when trouble brewed within the Spirit Tribe. Now everyone entering the Flowing Cloud Realm faced the wrath of the Spirit Tribe—truly an unexpected calamity.
What about tomorrow?
Looking at the silhouette of a Thunderbird illuminated by lightning before him, Gu Hu felt even less significant than a mere bird. At least those Thunderbirds flapping their wings in the sky had stable nests, while he had to be wary of them wherever he went, fearing that his secret regarding Dao Foundation might be exposed.
What should Jie Donglai do? Should he simply ignore those people? They were just a bunch of inexperienced youngsters who wouldn't survive long outside the Flowing Cloud Realm. It was evident that they had no experience living near beast territories; at most, they could catch wild boars in the wilderness. This thought made Gu feel increasingly restless.
It was good to have Yoyo by his side. Holding Yoyo close in his arms after a long night of exhaustion, he found comfort in her deep sleep. Her fur was stained with blood from wolf packs and some dry grass; her claws showed signs of wear from hiding in his palms. Yet every time she wore down her claws and recovered, they became sharper than before.
Outside the Flowing Cloud Realm, in Yuezi, Yoyo's company brought Gu a sense of comfort. Back then, with Bu Luo around, Gu never had to worry about threats from those nearby. But now, he found himself constantly on guard against his own people. Wasn't that a form of irony?
Tomorrow, the Senior Sister would be by Gu's side again, handing him the Red Jade Lotus he had given her before. "I'm leaving tomorrow to return to the academy," she said. "I'll deliver this to Wen Shiren and tell him not to wait for me any longer."
Did she really want to leave?
By morning, the Thunderbird had dispersed. Although dark clouds still loomed in the sky, sunlight broke through, illuminating Gu's face. Once again, he pondered that question within himself—did he truly not deny it? He still hadn't found the answer he sought.
At that moment, the Senior Sister had donned a light yellow veil and was heading outside the courtyard in search of others. She knew Cliff wouldn't make it back and was uncertain of which direction Jie Donglai should take. Yet various reasons compelled her to return and gather everyone back to the academy, ensuring not a single person was left behind. Only then could she justify their trust in her.
Gu watched her distant figure and suddenly spoke up: "I can leave; they won't survive there much longer."
He needed to find them, even if it meant bringing back their bodies. The Senior Sister didn't look back as she walked toward a direction even she wasn't sure about.
Why? Wasn't living better?
Keke replied, "Because she's our Senior Sister." After saying this, the Senior Sister paused, turned her head to look at Gu, and asked, "Who says she's not our Senior Sister?"
With that, she turned and vanished from Gu's sight. Using his Divine Sense, he could still feel her presence—her departure was quick yet resolute. From the moment Coco stepped out of the courtyard, she had no intention of returning.
Gu raised Yoyo in front of him and asked, "Do you think that woman is foolish? Why would she seek death when living is perfectly fine?"
Yoyo nodded; it didn't ponder such things. In its mind, it had already concluded one thing: whatever Gu said was right. It didn't matter whether it was true or not; as long as Gu said so, then it must be right.
Seeing Yoyo's expression, Gu Xiao couldn't help but smile. Only someone who never thinks would agree with what Gu just said. Even if Yoyo did think about it, he would still agree with Gu's perspective because beasts have always prioritized their own survival above all else.
Sigh, forget it, Yoyo is leaving.
The Senior Sister walked alone through the jungle when she suddenly stopped in her tracks. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on a clearing beyond the thicket, where a massive creature lay. Its height and length had already surpassed that of the Blackwing Wolf King and Shaya Spirit she had encountered before. From the Senior Sister's viewpoint, that creature was undeniably a beast, and Guang Nao lying on the ground was already taller than the Blackwing Wolf King.
Forget it, she shouldn't provoke such a giant. I should take this opportunity to slip away, she thought to herself. It would be best to avoid disturbing the beasts outside the Flowing Cloud Realm. The supplies she brought were only enough to sustain a week of intense battles, and after consuming heavily since yesterday morning, she really needed to conserve as much as possible without wasting anything.
Just as the Senior Sister planned to sneak away quietly, the massive creature in front of her suddenly got up. It looked at her and spoke in human language, saying, "This is where I belong. You should leave quickly."
It was none other than a Black Gorilla, capable of human speech, at least equivalent to a human at the Jin Qi level of cultivation. Judging by its size, it was likely that its cultivation level exceeded that of Jin Qi.
